Ko Jin-young claimed the Founders Cup for the third time after cruising past Minjee Lee.

Golf General

Jin Young Ko regained the No. 1 ranking in women's golf by overcoming a four-shot deficit to win the Founders Cup on the first playoff hole after cruising past defending champion Minjee Lee.

In winning for the 15th time on the LPGA Tour and the second time this year, Ko shot a final round-best 5-under 67 in tough, windy conditions. She forced the playoff making a clutch downhill birdie from roughly 15 feet on No. 18 to tie for the lead. 

It was her third straight birdie on the hole.

The players went back to the par 4 No. 18 for the playoff. Both players hit the green with their second shots with Lee being about 15 feet away and closer than Ko, who had a winding putt from right to left.

Ko joins Lilia Vu as the only players with multiple wins on tour this year, earning $450,000 from the $3 million purse.
